Why did I decide to do this?!

So, back in October I decided to go back to school. I never finished my degree and wanted to finish, not only for me but for my family. I am so burnt out on classes right now! I have a TON of homework to do and can't seem to get it done. I take 2 classes at a time that last 8 weeks. I think I just need a break and then will be good to go. I just have to keep my eye on the goal...I will be done with classes in May 2011 and start student teaching in August 2011!

My kids make me smile everyday! Emilia sings all the time. She usually makes songs up but they are so sweet! Tristan giggles and scoots all over the place. I love my kids!

I have been inspired!

I have been inspired to start a blog to tell about our life. So here goes nothing....I am Marisa and am married to my best friend, Steve. We have 2 beautiful children and another on the way. We moved into a new-construction house in March and are trying to get the yard in place. (Pictures to follow soon.) The next project for us is getting the fence put up so Joker has a yard he can run around in. Here are some pictures of what has been going on:
